Do you reverse park on the flat or on a slope?

Is your foot maintaining any pressure on the clutch pedal while you're reversing or is it completely off?

Ran a 16.31 second 1/4 mile.

Coupla days old... but on Friday I got the most expensive piece of tin plate I've ever bought...

Pretty sure I can source you new HD series Bilsteins (as mentioned in that thread to be same as TRD ones) for about $250 each.

Would have to confirm with my supplier, if you're interested, flick me a PM.

How much to get these in?

Shouldn't be over $200 landed... I think my ones owe me $180 but they are the chunkier ones...

I used a guy on hobill ave, cant remember their name
It was only a small wheel repair workshop, cant remember the cost they skimmed the lips and dish on 4 wheels using their cnc
came up absolutely mint

This was an engineering crowd who have now merged and relocated to the shore to become Wheel ...

Good to know, Thanks Leon.

I was under the impression vehicles were tagged at the port with an importation date and that affected its ability to be complied/registered.

I guess that would have been more for incoming standards/regulations and a concern if imported vehicles were on a delayed ...

yes you can

How far can that theory be taken?

ie. importing JZX100's (1996-2000) now and putting them in a shed until they turn 20 then registering them on the road...

My B2200 counts right?

Its been a few years so I'm out of the play now, is there still an easy way to figure out what cars are eligible for importation (to be registered on NZ roads)?

It used to be anything after 1996 for frontal impact reasons, then I think it went to 2002 for emissions?

I'm aware of the SIV/20 ...

Cheers, I'll have to try that because I'm too lazy to undo the lower mount in my Z20 to raise the rear suspension

They're probably trying to adjust the spring load rather than the ride height. The ride height is adjusted by loosening the bottom collar and then turning the top collar either up or down to go lower or higher. Turning the very top collar will adjust the spring rate only, which is definitely not ...

I've put them on GZ20, MA70 and JZX90. Piece of piss, exactly the same as what Nissan boys do. Certain size/thickness washer, slip onto end of rack, re-assemble, enjoy.

Can't tell you dimensions atm sorry as Logan is running around with my spares in his centre console...

Spotted two today, a red one and a blue one, first one I have seen in blue and it was quite nice.. funny both were coming of the northbound at East Tamaiki Papatoetoe. I want one. But as it goes into my "cars I love but wont own" basket nestled right next to the Series 6 RX7 and S15 200SX.

I ...

I tried to sit in one coupla weeks ago... couldn't sit up straight, knees jammed on steering wheel

Have to wait for new Supra to come out.

I'm planning on EBC red stuff. I think the car weighs about 1500kg. Not planning on any track action, just daily/street cruiser/road trip car.

Not really a "tech question" as such...


But wheres the best place in NZ to order these items from? I'm thinking about a minor braking upgrade...
